Watchlists let you save and organize the stocks you're interested in. You can create multiple lists (up to 10) with up to 100 stocks each.

Built-in watchlists

OptyTrades comes with several built-in watchlists available to all users:

• Indexes & ETFs — 25 popular ETFs including SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA, all sector SPDRs (XLF, XLE, XLK, etc.), and thematic/commodity/bond ETFs like GLD, TLT, and ARKK.
• S&P 500 — All S&P 500 component stocks, pulled directly from the screener's data so they load instantly.

Curated wheel watchlists

Over a dozen curated lists are pre-loaded specifically for wheel traders, organized by price tier, strategy, and risk profile. Find them under Power Lists in the screener watchlist dropdown, or browse them at /watchlists.

Wheel Kings — by price tier

• Wheel Kings Under $25 — Capital-efficient names under $25. Run a cash-secured put for $1,000–$2,500 in collateral. Good for smaller accounts. Static list, reviewed monthly.
• Wheel Kings $25–$50 — The sweet spot for most retail wheelers — enough premium, enough quality, ~$2,500–$5,000 per CSP contract. Static list, reviewed monthly.
• Wheel Kings $50–$100 — Larger-cap names with strong fundamentals. For $25K+ accounts who want higher-quality underlyings. Static list, reviewed monthly.
• Mega-Cap Wheel Kings — $100B+ blue chips with deep weekly chains. Lower premium, but sleep-at-night quality. For $100K+ accounts. Static list, reviewed monthly.
• Dividend Wheel Kings — Dynamic list filtered live for dividend yield ≥2% and market cap ≥$10B. Stack option premium with dividend income.

Event-driven

• Fallen Angels — Profitable companies down 30%+ from their 52-week highs due to an event-driven selloff, not structural collapse. Elevated IV, fat premiums, real businesses with a recovery thesis. The sweet spot: you collect fear-priced premium at a strike that already prices in more downside.
• High Premium High Risk — The highest-IV names in the options market — AI, crypto-adjacent, growth tech, and two leveraged ETFs. No safety score floor. For experienced sellers who accept higher assignment risk in exchange for maximum premium. Size smaller than usual.

Quality & value

• Buffett Quality — 50 high-moat companies ranked by size, profitability, valuation, conviction, stability, and shareholder returns. The “sleep at night” list for conservative wheelers. Rebuilt monthly.
• CANSLIM Growth — 50 market leaders near 52-week highs with strong earnings, institutional participation, and uptrending charts. Higher IV and premium potential. Rebuilt monthly.
• Dividend 50 — 50 durable income stocks with meaningful, covered yields. Combines dividend income with option premium. Rebuilt monthly.
• Deep Value 50 — 50 Graham-style bargain stocks: cheap, profitable, not distressed. P/E between 5 and 18, within 35% of their 52-week high. For wheelers who want a margin of safety built in before selling the put. Rebuilt monthly.

Opty AI Watchlist

🤖 Opty AI Watchlist is a live, auto-updating list of every stock Opty is currently tracking: this week's Opty Picks, Opty Jr Picks, and all active AI Trader positions (monthly + weekly). It refreshes automatically as picks rotate each Monday and AI positions open or close. You can also activate it directly in the screener via the Opty's List button in the filter bar.

Each stock in the Opty AI Watchlist shows which list(s) it comes from via color-coded source pills, and which curated watchlists it also appears on — so you can see at a glance when an AI pick overlaps with a Buffett Quality or CANSLIM name.

Creating a watchlist

1. Click the gear icon next to the watchlist dropdown at the top of the screener.
2. In the “Manage Watchlists” modal, type a name for your new list and click Create.
3. You'll see your new list appear. You can now add stocks to it.

Adding stocks to a watchlist

There are two ways:

• From the screener table: Click the star icon on any stock row. If you have multiple watchlists, a popover appears letting you check/uncheck which lists to add it to. If you only have one list, it toggles automatically.
• From the manage modal: Open the gear icon, click a list to expand it, then type a ticker in the “Add ticker” input and press Enter. The symbol is validated before being added (fake tickers are rejected).

Viewing a watchlist

Use the dropdown at the top of the screener (next to the gear icon) to switch between “All Stocks” and any of your watchlists. When viewing a watchlist, the table shows only stocks in that list — and they're fetched independently, so you'll see all your watchlist stocks even if they aren't in the main screener universe.

Filter memory

Each watchlist remembers its own filter settings. So if you set “Min Score: 70+” on your “Blue Chips” list and “Sector: Tech” on your “Tech Picks” list, those filters are restored automatically when you switch between lists. “All Stocks” has its own saved filters too.

Your active watchlist selection is also saved automatically. If you switch to your “Blue Chips” list and close the browser, it will be selected again next time you open the screener.

Removing stocks

Click the star icon again to remove a stock, or open the manage modal, expand the list, and click the × next to any ticker pill.
